The Koch Brothers Are Building a Super Creepy Carnival on the National Mall

[n2doc]

by Tess VandenDolder -

If clowns aren't your thing, it might be a good idea to steer clear of the National Mall at the end of July. The Koch-backed group Generation Opportunity has just announced that they will be putting together quite the spectacle to try to convince young Americans that they should not be signing up for Obamacare.

Dubbed the "Creepy Carenival," the July 23rd event promises "to expose Obamacare for the freak show that it really is." The invite explains, "it's no secret that Obamacare hasn't lived up to the hype: All across the country premiums have spiked, millions have lost their insurance and their doctors, and, what's worse, we're continually being sold a bundle of lies about how great Obamacare has been for our generation!"

The event will consist of tightrope walkers, aerialists, jugglers, magicians and a "creepy hospital."

3. A creepy hospital?

I'm hospital-phobic already. That might make me swear of all medicine forever.

On the other hand I love magicians - I wonder if they'll get those guys from Now You See Me who steal from the rich with magic and give to the poor.

Probably not.

4. Remember their creepy Uncle Sam doing gynecological exams ad?

I'm sure it will come off like that. For such rich guys, they are pretty idiotic.

17. There was an interesting tie-in between the anti-healthcare ads and the tv ultrasound bills

Bryan Slater was an "Americans United for Life" v.p.. He was in charge of the successful ram-rodding of model legislation that pushes mandatory t.v. ultrasounds, that the patient had to pay for, in a dozen repug controlled states. Slater moved over to the Koch brothers funded "Generation Opportunity", to run the creepy 'Uncle Sam doing gyn exams' ad campaign!

A typical picture of the way nazi repugs work. The repugs ARE the creepy uncle sam 'government' wielding a large probe as a weapon, then they project that crime falsely onto their political enemies, to avoid fallout from their insanely fascist legislation, and to attempt to make political gains on another health legislation front.

5. It is terrifying to me how much of a hold they have on the thinking in this country.

Their propaganda is deep rooted and will take forever to restore the truth and deprogram their followers.

Truth be known, they border on domestic terrorists. Scare the hell out of me.

20. We start from the top, directly. Make sure people have heard of the Koch brothers and how they

own so many politicians.

And the more their names are out there, make sure people know they are blocking renewable energy, buying politicians, where they come from, what their agenda is.

Eventually it will crumble. When light is shined on creepy dark things, they must slither back under their rocks or be cooked on the sidewalk.

[Frustratedlady]

21. I agree, but time is limited and their slimey claws are so deeply imbedded

in such a wide area.

It would be like cleaning cockroaches out of a heavily infested house. Gag!

Owning politicians is so commonplace, I don't think people even pay attention anymore.

However, infiltrating our universities and writing our laws via ALEC are issues that should definitely be publicized, as those issues are quietly working in the background and the normal citizen wouldn't have access to their shenanigans unless they belong to a political group like DU that has exposed them. The RW has made DU look like a communist plot.

23. exposure, illumination..

that's as much as I can do.

Educate, expose, illuminate.. karma, sunshine, will kick in.
I don't know how or why or when but I have no doubt.

I totally understand and agree with what you are saying, by the way.

7. Somebody ought to hand of contraceptives...

free.

[Glorfindel]

8. I wonder if they will have General Liability and Worker's Compensation Insurance in place

for the inevitable injuries that will occur to the performers and the audience. As the proprietors, they could be at risk for millions of dollars in damages....

[onethatcares]

15. they'll make sure

everyone is a subcontractor and carries their own WC/GL policy. Probably written by the koch industry insurance agency.

[n2doc]

9. I wonder if any of their paid-for Kongressional Klowns will attend?

Carnival Cruz seems like a must for this event!

[dhill926]

10. seems to be a great opportunity...

for some creative counter demonstrating…just sayin'

[n2doc]

13. I hope the "Billionaires for Wealthcare" show up

11. creepy

. . . everything the tea bag wingers organize seems to attract the most backward and ignorant among us. This should be really special.

[Takket]

12. Hopefully this works out as well at the american spring teabagger nonsense a few months ago

[onethatcares]

14. I hear the top act is going to be

executives from the health care insurance industry making money disappear from peoples wallets with nothing in return.

[freshwest]

24. DUzy!!!

[Blue Owl]

16. July 23? I'll have to juggle some purity balls to make that work...

[LynneSin]

18. Will 10 million angry tea partiers be coming to that protest too?

[Andy823]

27. I thought they were still there

Something like a "million" were supposed stay in D.C. until they took down the president, vice president and even the speaker of the house. Aren't the still there?

[Voice for Peace]

19. It would be grand if someone could get to the performers and enlighten them.

Circus performers deserve not to be swindled and used as tools.

[bobthedrummer]

22. Cultists. K&R n/t

[freshwest]

25. Kreepy Koch Karnival will likely include the Confederate flag and calls for an Article 5 Convention.

To create the Kochstitution in 2014 and take us back a thousand years...

If we don't GOTV this fall, they'll rule us for the next thouand years.

[Brigid]

26. No they won't.

We won't last that long.

[RKP5637]

28. The Koch Brothers are really sick fucks! They are simply crazy deranged fucks! n/t

[roody]

29. What an invitation to creative protest

against Koch of course!

[wordpix]

30. David Koch, cancer patient 20 yrs, still spewing toxic carcinogenic poisons via Koch Industries

So stupid he doesn't get it: 2+2= 4. what a complete clown
